MASTERPIECE REVIEW ( Future of Art Global Masterpiece Award Jury Board and Marta Puig, Editor of Contemporary Art Curator Magazine) in 2024

The Future of Art Global Masterpiece Award has honored Loose Pieces (F80 Film Camera), a groundbreaking work by the extraordinary artist Chan Suk On, and rightfully so. This 50x70cm color photograph captures not only the intricate disassembly of a Nikon F80 film camera but also the very essence of technological deconstruction in a deeply reflective, thought-provoking manner. Chan Suk On’s brilliance lies in her ability to transform a simple, everyday object into a visual metaphor for memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time.

Her award-winning photograph presents the meticulously disassembled components of the Nikon F80 camera, spread across a surface with mechanical precision. Each piece of the camera is laid bare, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty and intricacy of what lies beneath the surface of everyday objects. Suk On, through her careful arrangement and masterful use of space, creates an atmosphere that feels almost reverential-each screw, gear, and lens element becomes a testament to the analog age, now fading into history as we move deeper into the digital era.

The Future of Art Global Masterpiece Award jury praised Chan Suk On not only for her technical prowess but for her conceptual depth. The artist has taken what was once a tool of creation-the Nikon F80, a beloved film camera from a bygone era-and deconstructed it in a way that transforms it into an object of contemplation. Her work goes beyond mere photography; it delves into the heart of what makes art-and technology-timeless yet transient. Loose Pieces (F80 Film Camera) serves as a powerful reminder of the physicality of objects in an increasingly digital world, inviting viewers to reflect on the fragility and fleeting nature of the tools we rely on.

In this artwork, Chan Suk On has struck a delicate balance between nostalgia and innovation. The disassembled camera, an object once integral to capturing and immortalizing moments, is now itself immortalized in this remarkable photograph.

Suk On’s meticulous eye for detail allows each piece to shine, creating a composition that is both visually captivating and conceptually rich. Her choice to photograph these deconstructed elements in such high resolution highlights the complexity of the camera’s inner workings, offering a glimpse into the sophistication of the machine and, by extension, the human ingenuity behind it.

What makes Loose Pieces (F80 Film Camera) particularly powerful is its emotional resonance. Suk On’s work evokes a sense of loss for the analog world, while also acknowledging the inevitable march of progress. By disassembling the Nikon F80, Suk On presents a poetic exploration of obsolescence, inviting us to consider the impermanence of even the most carefully designed objects. In an age where digital cameras and smartphones dominate the market, Loose Pieces (F80 Film Camera) serves as a poignant homage to a technology that once revolutionized the way we see and capture the world.
Chan Suk On’s work is essential to the contemporary art world for its ability to push the boundaries of photography as a medium. She has proven herself to be a genius in capturing not just images, but ideas ideas that challenge the viewer to think critically about the intersection of art, technology, and time. Loose Pieces (F80 Film Camera) transcends the traditional boundaries of photography, becoming a meditation on memory, disassembly, and transformation. Her work is not just a reflection on the past, but a bold statement about the future of art, where even disassembled objects can become masterpieces.

This visionary work by Chan Suk On has earned her a well-deserved place among the most innovative and influential artists of her generation. Loose Pieces (F80 Film Camera), with its profound commentary on the nature of creation, destruction, and preservation, will undoubtedly inspire and influence future artists for generations to come. It is not only a work of art but a symbol of the profound impact that art can have on our understanding of the world and the things we create within it.

未來藝術全球傑作獎頒給傑出藝術家陳淑安的開創性作品《鬆綁零件》Loose Pieces（F80菲林相機），這是理所當然的。這張50x70厘米的彩色照片不僅捕捉了Nikon F80菲林相機的複雜拆卸過程，而且以深刻反思、發人深省的方式捕捉了技術解構的本質。陳淑安的才華在於她能夠將簡單的日常物品轉化為記憶、懷舊和時間流逝的視覺隱喻。

她的獲獎照片展示了Nikon F80相機精心拆卸的組件，以機械精度分佈在表面上。相機的每一部分都是裸露的，邀請觀眾思考日常物體表面下的美麗和複雜性。淑安透過她精心的安排和對空間的巧妙運用，營造出一種近乎虔誠的氛圍——每個螺絲、齒輪和鏡頭元件都成為模擬時代的證明，現在隨著我們深入數位時代而逐漸消失在歷史中。

未來藝術全球傑作獎評審團不僅讚揚陳淑安的技術實力，也讚揚她的概念深度。藝術家採用了曾經的創作工具——Nikon F80，一款過去時代深受人們喜愛的菲林相機——並對其進行了解構，將其轉變為沉思的對象。她的作品不僅僅是攝影；它深入探討了藝術和技術永恆而又短暫的核心。《鬆綁零件》《Loose Pieces》（F80 菲林相機）有力地提醒人們在日益數位化的世界中物體的物理性，邀請觀眾反思我們所依賴的工具的脆弱性和轉瞬即逝的本質。

在這件作品中，陳淑安在懷舊與創新之間取得了微妙的平衡。拆解後的相機曾經是捕捉和永垂不朽瞬間不可或缺的物品，現在它本身在這張非凡的照片中永垂不朽。

淑安對細節一絲不苟的眼光讓每件作品都熠熠生輝，創造出既具有視覺吸引力又概念豐富的作品。她選擇以如此高解析度拍攝這些解構元素，突顯了相機內部運作原理的複雜性，讓人們一窺機器的複雜性，進而了解背後的人類聰明才智。

《鬆綁零件》Loose Pieces（F80菲林相機）之所以特別強大，是因為它的情感共鳴。淑安的作品喚起了模擬世界的失落感，同時也承認進步不可避免。透過拆解Nikon F80，淑安呈現了對過時的詩意探索，邀請我們思考即使是最精心設計的物體也是無常的。在數位相機和智慧型手機主導市場的時代，《鬆綁零件》Loose Pieces（F80菲林相機）是對曾經徹底改變我們觀察和捕捉世界方式的技術的深切致敬。

陳淑安的作品對於當代藝術界至關重要，因為它能夠突破攝影作為媒介的界限。她已經證明自己是個天才，不僅能捕捉影像，還能激發觀眾批判性地思考藝術、技術和時間的交集。《鬆綁零件》Loose Pieces（F80菲林相機）超越了攝影的傳統界限，成為對記憶、拆解和轉化的沉思。她的作品不僅是對過去的反思，也是對藝術未來的大膽陳述，即使是拆解的物體也可以成為傑作。

陳淑安的這部富有遠見的作品為她在當代最具創新性和影響力的藝術家中贏得了當之無愧的地位。《鬆綁零件》Loose Pieces（F80菲林相機）以其對創造、破壞和保存本質的深刻評論，無疑將激勵和影響未來幾代藝術家。它不僅是一件藝術品，而且象徵著藝術對我們對世界，以及我們在其中創造事物的理解產生深遠影響。
